Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce

ingredients

• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 pound pork tenderloin, silver skin removed, cut into thin slices
• 1 bulb fennel, fronds removed, halved, cored, sliced thin
• 1/2 cup Stonewall Kitchen Champagne Maine Maple Champagne Mustard or Blue Cheese Herb Mustard
• 1/2 cup whipping cream or half and half
• Garnish: minced chives (optional)

directions

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork slices with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, add pieces of pork and sauté 2-3 minutes per side. Do this in batches so as not to overcrowd. Transfer pork to plate and keep warm.
2. Add fennel to skillet and saute 1 to 2 minutes; stir in 1/4 cup water; cover and cook 4-5 minutes or until fennel is crisp-tender.
3. Stir in the Mustard and whipping cream. Heat over low heat for 4-5 minutes.
4. Return pork and any accumulated juices to skillet and cook 3-4 minutes or until hot. Garnish with chives, if desired.
